tempted assault On Mrs. Alice Norris, OF
Rock Point, Charles county, Nd He left a
description Of the man, and also. it is stated,
information that large reward was offered
for the mans arrest. The details Of the
matter were not given, bat it was learned
that the assault was dastardly one, and
that the woman was i'll treated. The affair
was kept very quiet, in order TO secure the
culprit, which was done yesterday morning
by Sergeant Falvey and Officer Block, who
found Gordon on board the schooner Ray
mond Fuller, at the Twelfth street wharf

ALEX ANDRIA-.
SATURDAY EVENING. MARCH 5.

The BALTIMORE american yesterday
said Two years ago to- day Grover Cleve-
land was indicted into Office amid the
plaudits and good wishes Of thousands OF
democrats. Those who shouted loudest on
that occasion would manifest similar dem
onstratons of JOY if his term expired to-
dav." Yes, and with good reason, tor no
party was ever before so disappointed IN
the principles and policy of the man it had
elected. By the exercise of his legitimate
influence Mr.. Cleveland could have secured
the election of democratic Senator from
Illinois. and thereby have lied the present
Senate. He also had it within his power 10
mite the democrats in the United States
House Of Representatives and enable lhem
to carry out the promises OF the platform
upon which he was elected regarding the
reduction of the tariff on the pecessaries OF
Gf, But. instead of exerting that influence,
lac has held aloo; from his party ana taken
no part in the consultations OF Its wlsest
leaders. Ga the contrary, by taking to his
bosom the mugwumps, he has estranged
himself from his party, and by so doing has
necessarily increased the dissensions III lis
ranks. And though ne was elected by the
popular belief that he would change men IN
order that measures might be changed, he
has retained a vast majority of the men he
found in office, and thereby has of course
prevented any desired change in measures.
It will be better Tor Mr.. Cleveland as we'll
as for the democratic PARTY, if during the
remaining two years of his administration
he shall profit by the experience Of the TWO
that have gone, and be more Of a democrat
ic. and less of mugwump President.
